Has anybody else had a problem with the dashboard placing a second trade??
Yes, i've also had it happen many times over the past few weeks. But it was so random and unpredictable, i didn't know how to codify an explanation. I just started removing the red circle from a triggered trade. I'm using FXDD.

I have started removing red circle as well and dont seem to have the problem after this, however, I can not always be at my computer after a trade is placed to remove it (work, sleep, leisure...), so this is why it is important that I figure out whats causing the EA to actively trade again.

So far we have narrowed it down to happening only when the panel is showing a red circle. If the EA is removed completely then no "Double" trades are placed.

Mart,

I am thinking that I am having issues with my Trailing Stops.

I have my TP1 @ 40 pips and my Trailing Stop @ 25 pips.

For some reason, sometimes, the TS starts at 25 pips and I end up with 10+- pips and sometimes it waits till 40 pips is hit? Then puts in my BEPips of 30, and then starts the 25 trailing stop with a step of 5.

I am confused as I woke up this morning and had a 14 pip profit on GBPCAD. Whereas sometimes I would have had 30. This happens about half of the time, so I am confused.

Any advise?

Ok ,just to inform you guys that I have found the random "reentrance" order problem that some of you are experiencing. Yes! Like all errors, that was a stupid one, but hey... I do what I can Thanks for not being too ruff with me, I'm a human... hehehehe

Because I consider this a critical problem, I'll release a temporary version that corrected this problem.

Then, attached to this post is v2.32 (temporary version before v3) with this problem corrected.

To install:
- stop/remove all red EA on your panel
- stop/remove all EA that are active with reentry on
(note that these 2 steps won't be necessary in the future, cause these steps are there to avoid the problem)
- quit MT4
- download the attached files
- save them in MT4experts folder
- restart MT4

Your charts should show v2.32 of the MLFX_NH4_MANAGER.

Mart

[quote=bauerjj10;4045397]Has anybody else had a problem with the dashboard placing a second trade??

I have had the DB running for about 4 weeks on a live account with no problems. I do remove the EA once it has turned red, although at times it may be still on the DB for a few hours as I only check on it several times durring the day. But so far the DB has been just great, no double trades.

Edit: I am running XP prof.

Apparently there was an issue and Mart took care of it. I am unsure the reason that only some experienced the bug, but I am assuming it had to do with leaving the EA with a Red Circle for a period of time rather than removing it.

Strange how the screen shots show more weeks than are on the monitor. On the monitor I have 4 1/2 weeks but the screen shots show almost 7.

Hello seller9

I believe that the NH4 panel view of the chart is a window which is just looking at part of the original MT4 chart. This means that you will see less of the chart time-wise on the dashboard window than on the MT4 window. It is the MT4 window that should show the four weeks worth of data. Don't worry that the NH4 window shows less. The way you have it set now, there is too much data being displayed on the MT4 window and that will cause your indicators to give different entry indications compared to what other traders are seeing.

Actually the monitor screen shows only about 4 1/2 weeks of the chart (these are MT4 charts, not the panel charts), but when I do a screen shot from the MT4 menu the GIF image shows more, which is strange. If I do a regular screen capture with a paint program it shows me exactly what my monitor screen shows, 4 1/2 weeks. I wonder if MT4 captures a chart based on how much history you have your chart set for? The SIXTHS 5.3 uses a fixed 120 bars in the code so it should display OK and the panel reads these numbers off the chart. Some of the other versions of the sixth indicator base their lines on the window Max and Min values, so they would be affected by whats on the screen. So I think all is OK, I will look at how much history my charts are set for and that may explain why MT4 saves a different picture than what is shown on the monitor. The other indicators use fixed values so they will not change with chart size.

This situation occurs when the EA has closed the portion of the lot you wanted to close but when it's unable to set SL to BE (check your log you probably have an errormodify on this order). It then close the rest of the order to avoid your second portion to go negative. That's a protection.

Your settings are ok. Download the v3 beta of the manager somewhere in this thread (click the paperclip in the upper rigth corner to find the file).
Try it on one pair and let me know after.

Mart
OK Mart, I did what you suggested, including downloading the latest version (the one you just posted which corrected the red circle issue - thanks for the quick fix by the way!).

However, as the next two screen shots suggest, it did not correct the problem. The first screen is a GBPCHF trade that just closed, with the account history showing two separate 0.01 lots closing simultaneously. The second screen is the corresponding nh4 parameters for this trade showing only 50% (0.01 lot) supposed to close at ATR with the second lot closing 50 pips later), and a proper SL in place (i think).

Also attached is the accompanying log showing no errors.

I've actually tried all kinds of parameter combination's over the last few weeks to get this to work, but coming up empty every time...?

Boy, this DB Panel sure makes life easier when I am trying to do a day job and also trading forex. It is a fantastic addition to Bob's trading style. Last night I put a #4 EA on EU and this morning I checked before leaving for work and it had already started the EA, opened a position, and then closed the position for a profit. I have been tarding the 1 minute to 15 minute time frames and just grabbing 5 - 10 pips here and there. Moving up to the 4 HR sure makes life easier and the pip gains are better. The draw downs are larger but using the 1.1.3.3 recovery makes that even easier to manage. So far since starting with the Dash Board I have had only one trade go to L2 so far and it recovered with a gain. Will upgrade to the next version when I get home tonight that is now available, at present I have 2 open trades that are in DD but are quite a ways from recovery yet. Will post some screen shots this evening.

MANY THANKS phover for the great DB and your generosity.

Good Luck

Check your journal in MT4 and tell me if you have an error on your order somewhere. That would help.

Ok thanks a lot. I have found the problem (bug).

In the version you use actually of the MLFX_NH4_MANAGER EA, if you want to use the multi-level take profit USING partial lot closure, you should use MagicNumber=0. I have an error in my code where I have hardcoded "0" as the magicnumber to look for ticket retreiving after partial closure. That won't be an issue in v3.

Thanks for you works... and patience

Yes, wait for v3
I did a couple of adjustment in code that I'm sure (at least I hope) will solve all issues with SL trailing...

I'll contact you by PM.

Thank you for this excellent dashboard phover! It's one of the best software I have ever used. I have been using it for awhile now and it has been great! I think I may have found an error. On Sept 22 I turned on the #2 Ea for a trade that I saw coming at a later time since I would not be at the computer. If you look at the red arrow, it looks like it took the trade when the price crossed back into the BBands. The 1 Ma did not cross back into the bands into later after price went above the gold line. I think I am using a early version of v2 as it has a creation date of 9/7. I hope I am not causing in trouble, just hoping to help out. Thanks. If I made a mistake and this is not an error I apologize.
